Who or what inspired you to do the Sheffield 10k run?
Transcript
00:00We're all staff at Moesbrick Bank Prime and we were unable to raise money for the playground
00:04which is in a bit of a sorry state. There's been a big, big waive of fundraising
00:08and we thought, dressed as Toy Story characters we might be able to attract a bit of attention.
00:12So we got lots of sponsors from our school community to raise money for the playground.
00:16Worried about costume malfunctions!
00:18I've got a jet pack which I'm very fond of and I don't want to lose it on Echo Hill Road.
00:22I think we're just enthusiastic and we don't really care about time.
00:25Well, I'm Jesse!
00:27We just want to do it.
00:29I'm Karl Griffiths and today we're running for our friend Tom who sadly passed away in July.
00:34We've raised a considerable amount of money for his two daughters
00:39who are here today all with banners and we're all wearing Team Tom shirts
00:43basically just to get everyone together about Tom.
00:48Tom's an energetic kind of guy, really like a sort of party.
00:54Obviously sadly he's not here today so we're bringing everybody together in remembrance of him.
00:59Everybody's been so supportive.
01:01It's just good to get everybody together and sort of reminisce about some stories of Tom
01:06and everybody getting together and running a race. We're all in Team Tom shirts.
01:10Hands on the Stars is an organisation working with adults with learning disabilities
01:15to do music. We DJ from 9 o'clock and we're raising money for new equipment
01:22to keep the good work going.
01:24Brilliant. OK, and how are you feeling about the run today?
01:28I'm a bit cold.
01:30We're cold!
01:31We're very excited and looking forward to seeing everyone cheering us on.
01:35How are you feeling today?
01:36I feel like there's no reason why I'm doing this.
01:39We just have to get more people to realise their skills
01:42because you can do stuff like this and you shouldn't be afraid to do it.
01:46You really are the leader.
